BetaArchive is one of the webs largest Beta Repositories!
How did BetaArchive get it's Beta Repository?
BetaArchive began when a site called OSBetaArchive closed down as the owners had had enough of the spam being brought to the site. On 17th August 2006, the site closed down, and on 18th August 2006, BetaArchive opened it's doors to OSBA's members, in hope of carrying on what OSBA left behind.
Since that day, BetaArchive has had it's own small Beta Repository and Windows Beta Downloads collection because Andy, the admin of BetaArchive, was a member of OSBA and had a small but fast FTP server over there. With lots of Windows Whistler downloads on the server, it brought people to the site looking to continue downloading those files. As a result, a large majority of the stayed on BetaArchive to call it their home.
It has not been easy keeping our Windows Beta Repository fresh and up to date. Space woes has hit the site a number of times, threatening to halt the growth of the Windows Beta Repository for good. Thankfully, generous members were able to donate enough money to upgrade the server and get us enough space for more Windows Beta Downloads.
What Windows Beta Downloads are in the Windows Beta Repository?
Since we opened, we have collected thousands of Windows Beta Downloads. All of them have been sorted through by our FTP Administrator 'mrpijey', and all repacked and verified to be genuine.
Some of the most popular Windows Beta Downloads are:
We also have Windows Beta Downloads with codenames you have probably never heard of. Lets list a few, in no particular order:
Codename Chicago, which became Windows 95
Of course there are lots of other codenames Microsoft has used for it's various Operating Systems and Applications, so why not take a look at the on the Microsoft Discussion Forum?
We also have a lot of PC games in the Abandonware Repository that you might like to try along side the Windows Beta Downloads. Sign up now!
What Apple Beta Downloads are in the Beta Repository?
Just like Microsoft, Apple have their fair share of codenames to sit side-by-side their products. In the case of Apple, they appear to have named their codenames after animals.
For example:
The list goes on. The difference with Apple is they keep the codename assigned to the operating system throughout development and release, where as Microsoft change the name of their operating systems after or close to release.
We have an Apple Discussion Forum for all of your questions, and plenty of knowledgable members who have lots of information to share about Apple Beta Downloads.
What are you waiting for? Sign up and get your Apple Beta Downloads now! You don't know what you're missing out on!
What do you have in your Beta Games Repository?
Betas of course! Lots of Betas of the latest games, and games from the past. A huge selection of the games in the Beta Games Repository were donated by members since we opened in late 2006. Only some of these were brought with us from OSBA.
The Beta Games Repository is one of the less used parts of the forum, simply because it's so hard to get hold of these Betas in the first place. You probably won't find any Beta Games Repository like ours anywhere else on the web, simply because it was so hard to get hold of them in the first place.
You might be wondering what sorts of machines we hold Betas for in the Beta Games Repository. Well lets list a few of them now:
... plus many more. However you will have to sign up and gain your access to the Beta Games Repository before you can see what else we have to offer! You might also be interested to know we do have some Abandonware games in the Abandonware Repository too, so you don't just have to enjoy Betas, you can have full games too!
What do you have in your Abandonware Repository?
Although we're called BetaArchive, we don't just keep Betas, we have extended our collection and now have an Abandonware Repository as well. Thanks to our FTP admin contributing a wide range of Abandonware, you can enjoy hundreds of full games for PC and Mac. All have been repacked and verified before being uploaded to the Abandonware Repository so you can be sure they are virus-free and completely safe (although we do recommend you check it yourself first!).
We don't just have Abandonware games however, we also have Abandonware operating systems, service packs, software development kits and applications in the Abandonware Repository. You won't believe it until you see it.
What are you still reading for? Why haven't you clicked the register link and signed up to the forum! The sooner you sign up, the sooner your contributing posts will be made and the sooner your Abandonware Repository access will be waiting for you!

In January of 2012, Elizabeth launched a full line of clothing and accessories similar to other tulsa boutiques. With a quaint and quiet location, she saw the opportunity to provide a top-notch fashion service for customers. Customers also noticed that the clothing was unique and not available in the other boutiques around town. The best thing about the unique clothing is that it is affordable!
When asked why she decided to start the boutique, Elizabeth Whitehead said, "While competing in pageants I grew to love fashion. I wanted good quality with an affordable price tag. It was fun to share these clothes with women all over the nation. The clothes looked great while keeping our customer's bank accounts happy. Most of my customers feel wonderful when they splurge on a fabulous pair of shoes. Unfortunately, it isn't always practical. We want to give women a shopping experience without the scary price tags. We'll always search for the best and cutest affordable priced clothes. Our customer service is our greatest aspirations. I want to create a bond of loyalty with our customers that let's them know we care about the person and not the paycheck. We truly care about customer satisfaction."

We have a shallow point driven well in northern Wisconsin. The pump/well had been working fine; however, the pump cracked this past winter (possible freeze?) and we are having trouble priming the system.
We have installed a new 1" pipe inside the original 2" pipe, installed a new pump and pressure tank. The bottom of the point is approximately 32ft. from top of pipe with 11ft - 14ft of water in the pipe. We had poured 15 gallons of water in the pipe and it disappears as quickly as we could pour it into the pipe (appears screens on point are clear). We piped up the entire system, new pump, 1" line in well pipe, new 20 gallon pressure tank, new piping (except for check valve) and can not get it to prime. Pressure gauge in the line goes up to 30 psi and no further with pump running.
We did not install a foot valve in the 1" pipe, wanting an option to drain the pipe in the future, with the cold Wisconsin winters. We do have a check valve before the pump as the piping comes out of the well pipe.
Any suggestions of what to try? Could the check valve be bad? It was new last fall and we reused from previous set-up.
It makes no sense to have the amount of water we have in the pipe and not be able to prime the pump.

The Guardian, Tuesday 23 August 2011
There is no question of its flair for producing a world-class chenin blanc, cabernet sauvignon or pinotage at an affordable price. But the provenance of South Africa's wines is altogether less savoury, an investigation by human rights monitors has revealed.
Workers on the country's wine and fruit farms lead "dismal, dangerous lives," according to Human Rights Watch (HRW), which found on-site housing unfit for habitation, exposure to pesticides without proper safety equipment, lack of access to toilets or drinking water while working and barriers to union representation.
Farm workers contribute millions to South Africa's economy, with products that are sold in Tesco and other British supermarkets, yet they are among the lowest wage earners in the country, the group's report says. Read the rest of this entry »

Carver County made its mark on aviation history thanks to local aviation pioneer Elmer Sell. Owner of the first airplane in Carver County, Sell founded Sell Airfield and had a flying career spanning four decades.
Elmer Sell, son of Carver County Historical Society founder Otto Diedtrich (O.D.) Sell, found his love of aviation serving in the Air Corp during World War I. In 1919, Sell began taking flying lessons and assisted in organizing the Minnesota Observation Squadron. The first of its kind, this group later became the 109th Squadron of the Minnesota National Guard. On August 6, 1922, Sell had a landmark day in his aviation career, flying solo for the first time.
In the following years, Sell continued to accumulate flying hours, adding stunts like wing walking and barnstorming to his skills. Then, in 1928, Elmer Sell teamed up with his father, O.D. Sell, to start Sell Airfield. The original hangar and airfield were located on the Bleedorn property, at the intersection of Highway 25 and Highway 30. The airfield was later moved to a property south of Mayer on the east side of Highway 25. An old log house and barn on the new property were converted into hangars.
Sell Airfield remained in operation for over a decade, except briefly during World War II. Near the start of the war, the National Guard, or Minnesota Home Defense force, took over many private airfields with a fear of enemy infiltrations after Pearl Harbor. Sell Airfield was taken over in 1941 for a short time. After reopening, due to the stress of gas rationing, other restrictions, and new paperwork each trip, Sell chose to sell his plane and close the airport for the duration of the war. After the war ended, with restrictions lifted, Sell purchased two new planes. He reopened the airfield and continued giving passenger rides. This business offered these rides until 1959, when flying passengers from farm fields became illegal.
Along with running the airfield, Elmer Sell shared his love of aviation through teaching. Rather than serving in World War II, Sell served as a civilian instructor at the Wold Chamberlain Field and at East High School in Minneapolis. In his later years, he taught aviation and auto mechanics at Tracy High School in Tracy, commuting by plane from his home in Mayer.
Over the years, Sell owned many early airplanes. Among them were a Great Lakes Special, a Piper Cub, a Piper Special and a Jenny biplane. His passion for flying spread to his son Charles and grandson Charles Jr., who was president of the St. Cloud State University Flying Club in the 1970s. The Sells set a record in 1961 during a June 25 breakfast flight from Mayer to Hector. Elmer Sell was the oldest pilot at the event, his grandson the youngest at four years old. All three generations participated in the flight.
Elmer Sell continued flying until illness forced him to quit in 1962. Even then he still flew with his son at the controls. He died in 1965. A hangar from his field was sold to the Ziermanns in 1972, and used on their property for a number of years, continuing Carver County's place in aviation history.

(Managua, Granada)
Experience Nicaragua and visit two of the most vivid cities. See Nicaragua's history come to life while exploring Managua and Granada with the help of private tours. Managua has plenty to offer. From galleries, promenades and boat tours on Lake Nicaragua to extraordinary culinary experiences. Managua enjoys an array of local and international cuisine. For example a popular 'fast food' known as "quesillo" it consists of cheese wrapped in a corn tortilla with cream, onions, and salt. Nacatamales, the Nicaraguan version of the tamale, is a local delicacy. Steak preparation is one of the strong points of the local cuisine. It is often accompanied by a special sauce known as Chimichurri, composed of oil, garlic and herbs. After your visit in Managua you will transfer to Granada. Granada was established in 1524 and has a rich colonial heritage. While in Granada, be sure to admire the unique architecture, or better yet, do so while taking in a tour of the city by a horse drawn carriage. Conclude your tour with some time relaxing in Nicaragua Lake. Jicaro is the best place to find the perfect combination of relaxation and exploration. After a day of adventure in one of our signature tours, you might want to indulge in a special massage in one of our open air treatment rooms in our wellness center. By consultation, our therapist will determine the best combination of techniques according to your requirements or awaken the senses and let serenity and tranquility inspire you. Sign up for a yoga session on the floating deck and experience something extraordinary. In the end of the trip you will return safely to Managua for your departure flight.
Upon your arrival you will be met by a local representative who will help you locate your vehicle.
Enjoy a private airport transfer with private vehicle and English speaking driver.
Enjoy an urban oasis at this award-winning, luxury hotel in Managua. The Intercontinental Metrocentro is ideally placed in the centre of the entertainment and business district, adjacent to the country's largest shopping mall featuring more than 120 stores. Indulge yourself at Factory Streak & Lobster, enjoy a trendy ambience at NAU lounge bar or unwind in the tranquil surrounding at the terrace next to the pool and exotic gardens. Explore the city; visit Managua's famous Cathedral and its historic downtown area.
Managua, the capital city of Nicaragua means, "Where the water extends" in the Nahuatl language. The rise of the lake dates back to prehistoric times. Evidence of early civilizations includes the "Footprints of Acahualinca"—dated back more than 10,000 years. We begin our city tour here. After a visit to the Plaza de la Republica and the National Palace, we visit the old cathedral (almost totally destroyed by the Earthquake of 1972.) We continue to a "mirador" (or overlook) near what was once the central city. Here we see the bunker of Somoza, now marked by a statue of A.C. Sandino—arguably the most famous person in Nicaraguan history. From this vantage, we enjoy a magnificent view of the capital and the impressive Lake Managua. Later, we visit the new cathedral and the Ruben Dario fountain. Lunch will be at an excellent restaurant featuring typical Nicaraguan foods. In the afternoon, we visit the Roberto Huembes Market and will see and be able to select from an extensive variety of local art and objects. Here guests will be able to engage in the time-honoured custom of bargaining prices. We return to the hotel and prepare for an evening of relaxation.
Depart on an early flight from Managua to Corn Island. Upon arrival, you will tour around the island by open-air jeep. On the white sand beach, enjoy palm trees resting beside crystal turquoise coloured water. After a lunch (included) of lobster and other local delicious plates, there are excellent opportunities for snorkelling, diving, fishing, water bikes, and horse riding. Return to Managua on an afternoon flight. The tour is ideal for all ages.
You will be picked up and transferred to Marina Cocibolca (Granada) by private vehicle/driver. From here you will take a boat (shared) to the Jicaro Island Lodge.
Although secluded on an island we want to give our guests a memorable culinary experience. All of your meals and non-alcoholic beverages are included. Breakfast and lunch are served a la carte and dinner is a choice of fresh daily specials created by our chef. Jicaro has an open kitchen right next to the restaurant, so it is a real treat to watch the chef prepare your dinner. The menu has plenty of options and prides itself on the selection of fresh fish from the lake and nearby ocean, local vegetables and fruit, and locally farmed chicken and beef. We believe that when you have fresh, tasty ingredients you can cook very simply and the food will be extraordinary.
Jicaro Island Ecolodge is Nicaragua´s most upscale nature resort located on a private island in Lake Nicaragua. The lodge is located just a short boat ride from the colonial town of Granada with spectacular views of the Mombacho Volcano across the lake. Nine private casitas serve as the perfect setting for romantic escapes, activities and active exploration and wellness retreats. Immerse yourself in a magical island experience filled with peace, tranquility and access to a wide variety of tours and activities.
Jicaro is a place where you can find the perfect combination of relaxation and exploration. After a day of lounging in your private hammock or indulging in a rejuvenating massage in our wellness center, you might want to adventure out on one of our signature tours. Our tours offer varied activities ranging from easy to challenging, and are all accompanied by a private guide who will teach you about local flora and fauna, as well as Nicaraguan history, culture and day-to-day living. Bird watching, Tropical Forest & Hot Springs, Kayaking, Hiking, Fishing and more!
Tours listed above will be at an additional cost
Jicaro is the ideal location for people who want to reconnect with themselves and leave their hectic lives behind for a few days. Besides Yoga sessions and a variety of massage and wellness treatments, a visitor to the island will be enticed by the fresh and healthy local cuisine, the warmth of the local staff and the authenticity of the overall experience. Our Yoga deck looks out over the lake and towards the Mombacho volcano; it is a spot that inspires serenity and tranquility. Yoga classes are available for guests on a daily basis. The wellness center is located right on the lake and offers two spectacular open air treatment rooms with private showers. Massages range from Swedish to Shiatsu to Hot Stone treatments and are available on a daily basis for our guests. Additional cost will apply to yoga and wellness services.
You will transfer by boat (shared) to the Marina Cocibolca (Granada) from there you will be met and transferred by private vehicle and driver to Managua.

"All of our guides were beyond fabulous! Our time in Dublin was much too short, would have loved to stay there at least one more full day. Would recommend extending this package to 15 days for any future visits. The train to Edinburgh was super! Beautiful scenery and great steak pies!"

"We are home safe and sound from the best vacation I can remember. It seemed seamless to us but I know that you worked very hard to make our experience so good.
The guides and drivers were always punctual and reliable. They were very knowledgeable, personable, and funny. They provided us with very helpful information and helped us work on expanding our Spanish. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were very nice.
I especially appreciate our ability to update our plans while we were in Costa Rica. The zip lines were the highlight of our trip. I hate to think we almost missed out by not including it in our original plan.
You have made a friend and supporter for life. I will certainly recommend you to anyone I know going to Costa Rica.

"I would highly recommend this company for overseas travel. We had personal drivers that spoke perfect English and were also very knowledgeable in conversation pertaining to their country. Drivers were always early and eager to please. Your wish was their command!!!Every tour included educated guides who knew how to make our experience fun and exciting! I loved having personal drivers and guides, as well as many inclusive meals. We will definitely use this company for future travels."

"Our Costa Rica trip was amazing. The whole family thinks its the best we've ever taken! Kensington did an excellent job of organizing everything. The two hotels they picked were amazing.
Arenal -- The Springs Resort & Spa was almost too good since as soon as the family saw it they wanted to cancel activities so they could take full advantage of all it offered. We ultimately did cancel the safari to give us a free day to spend a day at the spa, pools and Club Rio (riding the river in innertubes!). The activities Kensington setup were excellent and very adventurous. Our favorite was canyoneering (repelling), We were all terrified at the first drop-off! It's more thrilling the zip lining (also lots of fun) and river rafting (a blast as well).
Manuel Antonio -- The Preserve at Los Altos was very nice. It was like staying in a 3 bedroom apartment at a boutique hotel (same feel as Athenum in London but nicer). The drive to get there was a bit long but worth it when our driver made a surprise stop at the the "crodillio bridge". The tour through Manuel Antonio National Park is a must do for nature lovers (3 types of monkeys, sloths, etc). Our guide was excellent. If you go MA NP, try Kapi Kapi for dinner.
I'd highly recommend using Kensington (Brandi was our rep) for a Costa Rica trip. Thanks for hooking us up with them.
Have fun.

"Hi Erika
We returned yesterday from our wonderful Costa Rican vacation and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed it. We loved staying at the El Silencio (the kids would have liked to stay even longer so we could have taken some of the nature hikes). Being surrounded by the cloud forest was an amazing sensation that really helped us to feel that we were in a completely different world and was a perfect way to begin the trip. Maria Lucia was a very kind tour guide and showed us the all sites in a huge day (the waterfalls, Poas volcano, the coffee plantation & Sarchi). The staff at El Silencio was wonderful and Jeff and I very much enjoyed the food and the very elaborate wine tasting there.
In La Fortuna the activities ruled. We loved everything, the exhilarating waterfall rappelling, the zip lining (& tiger swing - the kids LOVED IT) the volcano hike and we had a FANTASTIC time on the river safari with Gerald and his friend Tom. Gerald was a great guide and was able to share many stories while letting us see the wildlife. We saw a spectacular Toucan flock and of course the monkeys were a huge hit. Ending up at the farm was a fun end note to the trip. Of course we enjoyed the hot springs at the Tabacon - they are pretty amazing. Jeff and I had a chance to have a massage at the Tabacon spa and it was spectacular. The service at the hotel was lovely and our room did have a beautiful view of the volcano. I think the hot springs & spa are far superior at the Tabacon.
Alex drove us from both El Silencio to La Fortuna and then from La Fortuna to Punta Islita (that is a lot of driving and he did a great job - he was so friendly and made the travelling very enjoyable). On the way to La Fortuna he made a point of showing us the Iguana restaurant and it was a great wayside stop for everyone.
Punta Islita was stunning. Our villa Ilan Ilan was ideal, the view and the setting were spectacular. The kids loved the pool (when they weren't swimming & playing in the ocean), Jeff loved being able to finally drive around a bit like a native (the villa came with a small 4 wheel car), and I enjoyed waking up every morning to see the sunrise over the cliffs at the ocean's edge, and hear the incredible variety of birds (and on the last day even the howler monkeys). We enjoyed so many of the activities the hotel had to offer. Andrey & Hector and the whole staff were so warm and hospitable. They really worked hard and made every effort to make our stay so much fun. Hector helped us plan some more zip lining, surf lessons, a dolphin sighting/fishing boat trip and a sunset horseback ride which was the perfect way to wrap up the trip.
Ronald picked us up and got us to the airport in plenty of time. Ronald was very interested in showing us the wildlife as we drove through the different areas and we really enjoyed that.
Everywhere we went the people were absolutely wonderful, kind, and proud to show us their country and it made our trip spectacular.
Erika, thank you for all you did to help make the trip such a huge success.

"Hi Erika,
We are home with many good memories from our stay in Panama.
We found your guides and drivers to be always on time and very instructive, especially in David/Bouquette/Amistad. We liked the Panamonte Hotel in Bouquette.
Since the Amistad Park was closed due to rain on the day we arrived, we toured a Race horse breeding farm, Cerre Punte, which was magnificent and might be a consideration for your future guests
Your choice of itinerary in Panama City was quite informative and complete considering the limited time we had.
All in all, we were quite pleased with Kensington Tours in general.
Many Thanks,
Anthony and Barbara

P and I want to thank you so much for all of your help in setting up our trip! It was a wonderful week in Panama--we loved every minute. And we especially appreciated you taking care of the hotel reservation glitch. Your partner in Panama was really great to work with--they did a wonderful job and were very professional. Everything worked like clockwork with them. We look forward to working with you again!
Warm regards,

"My husband and I are "Boomers" and veteran world-wide travelers, from our early days with Eurail passes and VW Vans to the present! As such, we are not content with the group tours that "herd" you around and show you the tourist photo-op sites. However, as a busy medical professional I don't have time to carefully put together the type of trip that we want to have in places we have never been before. What a delight and relief to have discovered Kensington tours! Our trip to Costa Rica was the epitome of personalized, professional, and exceptional service. All our drivers and guides were wonderful - Barbara Franz, our naturalist guide in Manuel Antonio National Park was a standout. Our hotels and lodges in San Jose, Tortuguero, Monteverde, and Manuel Antonio were unique, lovely, and very comfortable. We are recommending Kensington to all our friends and are already trying to decide where we will go next. Maybe Africa, maybe New Zealand! We cannot say enough about Kensington's commitment to excellence! When it can be hard to wade through the mediocre, such professionalism is refreshing. Thank you Brandi for all you did to make our trip memorable!"

Are you getting enough protein?
Fact 1: Because heat alters molecular structure, 50% of the protein in meat is destroyed in the cooking process.1
Fact 2: The China Study by T. Colin Campbell rocked the nutrition world in 2006 by observing 6500 Chinese people over 20 years, concluding that the more animal protein people consume, the more modern ailments they suffer such as cancer and heart disease.
Fact 3: Some of the Earth's biggest animals—hippos, rhinos, elephants, giraffes and cows—maintain enormous muscle mass on plant-based diets. Is anyone asking if they're getting enough protein?!
The Protein Question Answered
Great for a slow release of energy, protein is made up of amino acids that your body uses to build muscle, tissues and enzymes. There are 20 different amino acids, eight of which can't be produced by your body and must be obtained through food. These are called the essential amino acids and they are the ones to focus on when choosing the best protein sources for you.
Top 3 Protein Sources
Sacha Inchi Protein Powder
Sacha inchi is a beautiful vine plant indigenous to the Peruvian Amazon, which produces star-shaped pods containing seeds sometimes known as Inca peanuts. When you and your family enjoy sacha inchi protein powder, you are helping to protect the endangered fertile land in the Amazonian rainforest from being razed for raw materials that are less sustainable. It's good for you, and the planet!
"One of the best exercise fuels – clean and lean." Review by Mont
"I gave up on protein powders (even raw vegan ones) awhile ago till I came across this superfood. It's so awesome to know I am getting protein to supplement my exercise on top of all these nutrients. I've been using sacha inchi mixed with maca in my smoothies for almost a year now and I've never felt better."
Check out our Super Sacha Inchi Banana Smoothie recipe!
Sun Warrior Protein Powder
Unlike others on the market, the process to make Sun Warrior protein powders is completely natural without chemicals. It begins as raw, whole-grain organically grown brown rice that is carefully germinated. Natural plant enzymes are then introduced which digest almost all of the carbohydrates, leaving only easy-to-digest protein. Carefully monitored bio-fermentation progresses steadily until the protein concentration reaches 85%. The end result is pure protein powder which is highly absorbable and delicious, too!
"Best protein powder I've found" Review by Sunny
"I've used the top egg, whey, soy, pea, and other protein powders, but the digestibility, taste, consistency etc. of this is my favorite by far. I've used it throughout my pregnancy to meet the higher protein demands."
Hemp Protein
The greatest proportion of protein in Nutiva Hemp Protein is called Edestin, a highly bio-available type most easily used by the human body, not found in soy or whey protein powders. Many health enthusiasts say that this protein powder is so sustaining that it curbs their appetite for hours, leaving them with energy to spare!
Bonus Protein Sources
Get energized, build muscle and answer the protein question with confidence from now on!

Holistic Gastronomy
United States
28 Mar 13
Mark Bittman, New York Times columnist and author of the book Food Matters: A Guide To Conscious Eating delivered the keynote speech at the Food Film Festival last weekend in Amsterdam - an event organized by members of the Slow Food Youth Network. While he was there, he had the chance to have a long chat with Slow Food president Carlo Petrini.
Bittman has been writing about food since the early 1980s, but in recent years has gone beyond cooking and recipes to explore a broader spectrum of issues concerning the global food system. We spoke with him in 2011 to find out more about how he came to be so passionate about food and what led him to write his 2009 book Food Matters - a practical analysis of some of these questions. Read the full interview here.
The following is an excerpt from his article 'Slow Food Quickens the Pace' based on his interview with Carlo Petrini last weekend, published on Tuesday in The New York Times.
First I asked if my original misperceptions of Slow Food as an organization of "gourmets" was wrong. He (Petrini) had two answers to this. First: "The nature of Slow Food has changed. When we began Terra Madre" — a biennial conference in Turin, Italy — "we were joined by Asians, Africans and Latin Americans, and we realized that 'gastronomy' was perceived by everyone in different ways, because our histories and conditions are different. But we all realized we had something in common, and that this fraternity was an important value."
But, he reminded me, "gastronomy is holistic. It's not only recipes and cooking but agriculture, physics, biology, genetics, chemistry, history, economy, politics and ecology. If we adapt this vision of gastronomy, our relationships with food and each other changes."
One problem, of course, was that gastronomy became equated with "gourmet-ism," or something of concern only to bon vivants. (He uses the word "gastronomer" as we might use "foodie" or, more kindly, one who appreciates the pleasures of food.) But now, he said: "A gastronomer who is not an environmentalist is just stupid. Whereas an environmentalist who is not a gastronomer is sad. It's possible to change the world even while preserving the concept of the right of pleasure."

May 2013
Dear Parent:
Welcome to Hamilton! It must be an exciting time in your household right now, but I'm sure that excitement is tempered by the reality of the investment you will be making for your child. I'd like to introduce you to two programs, one to help pay for your son or daughter's education and one to protect your investment in the cost of that education.
Student charges for 2013-14 will be $57,790, which includes $45,620 for tuition, $6,400 for room, $5,310 for the full board plan, and $460 for the student activities fee. Payment for the fall semester is due by August 12, 2013, and payment for the spring semester is due by January 6, 2014.
If you are unable to make lump-sum payments for your semester bill, we are pleased to offer a program administered for us by TuitionPay. The payment plan can be used alone, or combined with financial aid. If you have any questions, please call TuitionPay directly at (800) 635-0120.
I also call your attention to The Tuition Refund Plan, an insurance program that minimizes the financial loss if an illness or accident forces your son or daughter to withdraw from school before the semester is completed. This elective insurance plan provides coverage for tuition, and room and board charges. This plan significantly extends and enhances the College's published refund policy.
It is vital that those who wish to participate in this plan return the application form and premium before August 29, 2013. Applications cannot be accepted after classes begin. If you have any questions, please contact Dewar directly at 617- 774-1555.
Please note that neither Hamilton College nor any of its employees receive benefits from the companies that administer these programs. These options are provided solely as a service to our families.
We are pleased to offer you these programs and look forward to your child's arrival this fall.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office at 315-859-4324.
Andrea L. Brown
Assistant Controller

Backus and San Ignacio S.A. carry out reforestation efforts (Translation)
28 October 2009
Lima, October 26, 2009 - Backus and its business partner, San Ignacio S.A., are implementing a reforestation program that will run until March 2010. The program's goal is to plant more than 4,000 trees in various districts of Lima, where San Ignacio S.A. distributes Backus products.
With the coordination of the municipal authorities, three hundred trees were planted in the district of Huaral on this occasion. Huaral's Mayor, Dr. Jaime Uribe Ochoa; Environment and Citizenship Services Manager, Mr. Arturo Moreno Carrera and San Ignacio's Director for the North Region Distribution Centre, Mr. Antonio Quintana Suárez, participated in the tree planting ceremony. A team of volunteers and workers were also present and were in charge of planting trees. Through this effort, Alameda del Amor and Chancay Avenue in the neighborhood of El Rosario de Huaral, became this northern district's new lungs.
The joint effort between Backus, San Ignacio, Huaral's municipality and the district's Board of Neighbors not only makes the area beautiful but also promotes environmental awareness among workers and local residents.

Chase Blueberg plopped down on a chair in the dugout and said he was tired.
He looked a bit dazed.
It was understandable if he was both.
Blueberg, following a rocky first inning, set down 19 of the last 23 hitters he faced and struck out eight en route to his first no-hitter at any level as the Carson Blue Jays knocked off North Valleys, 4-1, in the first game of a doubleheader Thursday night at Ron McNutt Field.
The Blue Jays ended up with a sweep, as Casey Wolfe struck out five and pitched a 3-hitter in Carson's 2-1 …

Customer Reviews
When there's a problem...
Mostly a good app until there is a problem. Then, if it is anything other than a simple fix you might be told that the problem is on your iPad even though there is no testing of the iPad. Furthermore, tech support told me that Zinio's terms of agreement don't require that the app needs to work or that they need to troubleshoot in any detail. Be ready to hear contradictory statements such as "I'll ask my production department to look into it but they won't find any issues, the problem is your iPad." Enjoy it while it works, then go elsewhere. Better yet, go elsewhere first if possible.
Well laid out but...
The visual layout of the magazines is great for reading on the run.
The problem I have had with the app is getting it to recognize issues of a given magazine have been fully downloaded. I see the 'download' icon on the index page even though I have downloaded that issue more than once.
Finally, an update that does not require a re-install afterwards!!!!
I am always hesitant to update because until a year I have always needed to reinstall after updating.
The app also use to open to the last read magazine and page.
Otherwise, a great app.

5 Easy Takes On DIY Botanicals
• Kirsten form Restored Style created a nostalgic version using old book pages and pressed plants.
• Lauren Liess from Pure Style home created the no frills botanical prints for her sons' play shed using a color copier.
• I love the graphic quality of the negative image in the botanical prints created by Better Homes and Gardens. They suggest faux leaves, but my local nursery used the real deal to great effect.
• There is something whimsical about the 3D version created by HGTV's Kristen Cunningham. Leaves were sprayed with acrylic finish to keep them intact.
• Family Circle's paint pen on glass version is a bit more involved than the rest, but the contrast effect is beautiful.

I love these. A word of warning, though. Some years ago (inspired by something Martha Stewart did) I framed a bunch of beautiful leaves. They looked great at first, but when they dried, they turned golden brown. Duh! I don't know why I didn't expect that, but I didn't. They still look nice and I enjoy the graphic quality, but I liked them better green.
So if I do it again, I might use the copier method.
These are nice and thank you for the links and examples. Dried leaves are fragile and they can turn color. I think I would probably use the copier method too.
The prints in the third picture are bright and beautiful! That will awaken my mantel.

The Dell Scholars Program enables more under-served students with financial need to achieve their greatest potential through higher education. The Program seeks to reward students who leverage their high school experience to prepare for college, taking challenging classes and participating in college-readiness programs, while taking care of other responsibilities outside of school. High school seniors who have participated for two years in an approved college-readiness program, such as AVID or Upward Bound, while maintaining at least a 2.4 GPA are eligible to apply for the Dell Scholars Program, which carries a scholarship award of $20,000.
The scholarship application focuses primarily on a student's dedication to college success, asking questions about your non-scholastic activities and responsibilities, the challenges you face, the steps you've taken to prepare for college, and the amount of financial support you need for college. Dell Scholars are students who have the drive to push themselves to earn a bachelor's degree. For more information on this award and other scholarship opportunities, please conduct a free scholarship search on Scholarships.com today!

While the road to a college degree may include countless detours, it's essential to understand the importance of financial aid and filling out the FAFSA. But don't just take my word for it – President Obama agrees: Last week, the President announced an initiative that would encourage more students to apply for federal student aid.
Under the FAFSA Completion Initiative, the Department of Education will work with states to identify students who have not completed the form and employ new outreach efforts to help more students through the process. The White House said the effort would build on earlier steps by the Obama administration to simplify the form and make it easier for parents and student to use information from their tax returns to complete the paperwork. "We made it simple. It doesn't cost anything. It does not take a long time to fill out. Once you do, you're putting yourself in the running for all kinds of financial support for college," said President Obama.
For those of you that aren't familiar, the FAFSA (which stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid) acts as a gateway between graduating seniors and almost $150 billion in grants, loans and work-study funds that the federal government has available. Funds do run out, though, so we recommend filling out the FAFSA as early as possible. Have you filled out the FAFSA? Let us know how it went in the comments section. If you haven't done so yet, review our financial aid section for some tips.

Here at Scholarships.com, we make a point to advocate the importance of funding your college education the right way – for free! – and while financing your higher education solely from scholarships is an amazing feat, there is a factor to consider: scholarship displacement.
If you don't know what scholarship displacement is, you're not alone. Believe it or not, winning a scholarship may not be the end-all be-all when it comes to paying for school because they can complicate the financial aid package offered by your intended university. Why? When a student wins a scholarship, the college may reduce the student's need-based financial aid package to compensate. For example, say a university offers a student a $15,000 grant and an additional $15,000 loan to cover the cost of attending. If the student were then to win a scholarship for $15,000, the college could retract its $15,000 grant. Colleges call this an over-award and the scholarship providers call it displacement.
Although this may seem discouraging, it shouldn't dissuade you from applying to scholarships altogether. Instead, do your homework, speak with your admissions counselor and know where your intended college stands when it comes to their scholarship policies. If you're brining a lot of scholarship dollars to the table, you have options. Every college is different and has their own guidelines when it comes to outside scholarships. If one university doesn't allow you to put those scholarship dollars to other costs – loans, books, room and board, etc. – enroll at one that does. You could also enlist the help of the scholarship sponsor: Some scholarship providers may have a lot of clout with the college, especially if their scholars make up millions of dollars of funding to the college.
If you have any additional questions about scholarship displacement, don't hesitate to ask us!

Established in 1987, the National Peace Essay Contest is an annual contest open to high school students that provides the opportunity to do valuable research, writing and thinking on a topic of importance to international peace and conflict resolution. This year's topic is Security Sector Reform, Political Transition and Sustainable Peace. To participate, students are asked to answer the question: Transitioning to peace and democratic governance raises challenging questions about how to handle security forces. What do you do with a police force that has been trained to serve a repressive government and protect the status quo? What do you do with an army that has been fighting in a civil war? What do you do with rebel forces that may know how to fight but know very little about civilian life?

Higher education has always been a top priority for President Barack Obama. Back in February 2009, he told Congress, "By 2020, America will once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world." Five years later, whether or not we as a nation will achieve that benchmark remains unseen but he believes that reaching out to low-income students may be just the key to getting there.
On Thursday, President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama met with more than 80 college presidents and dozens of nonprofits committed to raising the number of low-income students who attend college. "We want to restore the essential promise of opportunity and upward mobility that's at the heart of America," he told the group. "To that end, young people, low-income students in particular, must have access to a college education." The participating schools have agreed to take action in one of four areas: connecting young people to schools that are right for them; early intervention to ensure a larger pool of students prepare for college; more college advising and test preparation; and more on-campus remedial education. And while President Obama's various education initiatives are ambitious, it doesn't appear to be lost on him that there is much more work to be done to get college degrees in the hands of more American students, regardless of their economic class.

When considering the true cost of a college education, students must remember to factor in not only tuition but mandatory fees, room and board, books, supplies and living expenses. That is unless you're from Tennessee, where the governor has proposed free community college for all high school graduates. That's right: All high school graduates in the state would have the option to attend a community or technical college for two years for free!
On Monday, Gov. William E. Haslam proposed using money from the Tennessee Education Lottery to fund an endowment that would cover all tuition and fees to two-year institutions for all graduating high school seniors. The proposal forms the centerpiece of his effort to increase the number of college graduates in Tennessee. "We are committed to making a clear statement to families that education beyond high school is a priority in the state of Tennessee," Haslam said. "Tennessee will be the only state in the country to offer our high school graduates two years of community college with no tuition or fees along with the support of dedicated mentors." In addition to the Tennessee Promise proposal, the governor laid out several other educational polices, including an expansion of a program meant to reduce the need for remedial math courses and a program to encourage high school students to take dual-enrollment courses. (For more on this story, click here.)
With the cost of a college education still on the rise, what do you think of Haslam's proposal? Should all states that participate in the lottery consider this option? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

Figuring out how you're going to pay for your college education can be daunting. And while no one would argue that filling out the FAFSA is an important piece of the financial aid puzzle, it seems that some colleges might be making the process more complicated...and costly.
Rep. Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland alleged this week that more than 100 universities – including dozens of elite and Ivy League institutions – may be violating the law by telling potential applicants that they have to spend money filling out an unnecessary form. In a letter to U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan, Cummings said 111 universities required a financial aid form developed by the College Board to be considered for any financial aid. Fifty-eight of the schools told applicants that they had to submit the $25 PROFILE form "in order to secure any type of financial aid, including federal student aid," Cummings wrote. The other 53 directed applicants to "submit both the FAFSA and the PROFILE to obtain federal financial aid, although they do not clarify what each form is used to assess." And while Cummings insists that these schools appear to be in violation of the Higher Education Act, some college officials have defended their use of PROFILE, stating that because it takes into account factors the FAFSA doesn't — like home equity and some business income — it allows universities to make fairer decisions on who needs aid the most. Meanwhile, Cummings has requested a meeting with Duncan to figure out what steps need to be taken to ensure that colleges are not creating unnecessary barriers to federal assistance. (For more on this story, click here.)
With all the outrageous fees students already must endure, what do you think of universities adding an additional one? Are you for filling out a form that costs you $25 if there is a chance you might get additional aid or against forking up more money than necessary? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

The Germans from Russia Heritage Society Youth Essay Contest encourages students from around the world to learn about the history and culture of the German-Russians, people who emigrated from Germany into Russia during the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, in the USA, Canada and other countries in the Western Hemisphere, these people have become known as Germans from Russia.
The GRHS Essay Contest is open to all students attending public, private, parochial or home schools and to students attending accredited universities as full-time undergraduate students. The subject of the paper must be directly related to German-Russian history heritage or culture and be the contestant's original work. A contestant does not need to be ethnic German-Russian to enter the contest. Resubmission of previously judged work is not permitted.

Figuring out the bottom line when it comes to the cost of your college education is definitely a stressful part of the process. With everything that goes into determining your financial aid package (your parents' income, your earnings and your family's net assets), it's important to understand that merit aid – aid based on a student's attributes (academics, athletics, extracurriculars, etc.) – is available to student regardless of their "need." New federal rules are blurring the distinction between scholarships awarded on merit and grants awarded because of a student's financial need – for instance, a growing number of colleges now award "need-based" aid to students from families earning six figures! Who would have thunk it?! So, we've compiled a few helpful tips to maximize your chances for merit aid and increase your overall financial aid package.

The American Fire Sprinkler Association Scholarship Program is unlike many traditional scholarship essay contests. That's because instead of writing an essay, applicants will read one. That's right!
To apply, students must go online and read a short essay about sprinklers and fire safety. After finishing, they complete a 10-question quiz on what they just read. Each correct answer gives the student a chance at winning one of 10 $2,000 scholarships (maximum 10 chances per entrant).
The American Fire Sprinkler Association (AFSA) Scholarship Contest is open to high school seniors in the United States who plan to further their education at a college/university or certified trade school in the United States. Home-schooled students may apply as long as your course of study is equivalent to that of a senior in high school.

bangladesh: focus on Rizwana Hasan and BELA
Rizwana received this year's Asia region award for her public interest work in the conservation of the environment, specifically in the country's environmentally devastating ship-breaking industry.
Established in 1989, the Goldman Environmental Prize is awarded annually to environmental advocates from six continental regions and is the largest award of its kind with a cash prize of $150,000.
Rizwana has focused much of her work on the Bangladeshi ship-breaking industry. As one of the only countries in the world that continues to have a flourishing ship-breaking industry, Bangladesh is loaded with labour discrepancies and environmental hardships as a result of the trade. Broken down ships are sent from around the world and taken apart by workers who are often paid less than a dollar a day for scraps, and labour laws are rarely enforced. Furthermore, the collapsed ships release toxic chemicals into the environment, polluting ecosystems and threatening the unprotected workers' lives.
As the chief executive of BELA, Rizwana has focused on both workers' rights within the ship-breaking trade as well as the halting of the detrimental environmental effects of the industry. Six years ago, she filed an important petition with the Bangladeshi Supreme Court seeking to prevent decommissioned ships from entering Bangladesh unless they were certified to be free of toxic substances as well as to prohibit further ship-breaking activities unless the government guaranteed protection for the workers and the environment. Although Rizwana does not condemn the ship-breaking industry altogether, her goal has been to make sure that the ships' toxic materials have been disposed of before landing in Bangladesh and that the workers are protected and compensated fairly for their efforts.
successes and future goals
Years of hard work and advocacy have finally paid off for BELA. In March 2009, the Supreme Court laid down strict regulations on the industry, resulting in the closure of 36 ship breaking yards operating without environmental clearance. The court also ruled it would impose restrictions on the import of Greenpeace listed contaminated ships and require strict regulations on the cleaning and decontamination of all imported ships. In its ruling it stated that a committee will oversee the implementation of these orders.
Although this is a huge victory for Rizwana and the team at BELA, the organisation plans to continue their efforts to make sure the rulings are enforced. The groups also continue advocacy on other environmental issues, such as wetlands preservation, regulation of commercial shrimp farming, traditional forest rights preservation, vehicular pollution, and industrial pollution.

Ah, the age-old mystery of the presale ticket. Before an event goes on sale, ticket wizards pull Houdini-like stunts and grab tickets out of thin air before anyone else can blink—right? Well, not exactly. There's more to a presale than that and it doesn't require any magic to take advantage—you only need to know where to look...
Ticket Presales Defined
The presale period is when certain event tickets go on sale to a specified group of fans, usually as a reward for their membership or customer loyalty. In advance or during the presale timeframe*, these select fans are given a code which allows them to search for tickets to buy. Fans aren't guaranteed a ticket during the presale, but they're given the opportunity to browse ahead of other fans who don't have the code.
